Dealing With Forgetfulness - Pastor Femi Emmanuel

ANCHOR TEXT: “Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?” {Psalms 88:12}.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:“EACH TIME YOU FORGET WHAT YOU SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER SOMETHING DIES”

Everyone becomes forgetful at one time or the other: forgetting where you keep the car key, not remembering to pick up an item at the grocery store, forgetting to return a friend’s call and so on. To start with, why do people forget things? Our brain loses track of events or issues when we are stressed; when we attempt to load it with too many information per time, and when we fail to keep record of most important things.

As man advances in age, he tends to become increasingly forgetful. So, at whatever age, you can forget things sometimes. For the fact that this happens to you once in a while is a sign that your brain is working properly. A study recently carried out revealed that the brain only chooses to remember those things it thinks are most relevant and actively suppresses those that are similar but less used, helping to lessen the cognitive load and prevent confusion.

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional Thursday,March 3

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression. This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

A Partaker Of Other People's Sins? - Pastor E.A Adeboye

Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle. 30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel. 31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. 32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

We Fail To Achieve Greatness Because We Fear Success By John Hagee

John Hagee Daily Devotional Thursday 11th August 2016 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - One reason we do not reach excellence is because of our fear of failure. Failure is a better teacher than success. Every great success story has its element of failure. You have not failed until you quit; only then have you failed. After Thomas Edison finished his 700th experiment trying to develop the electric light his assistant said, “We have failed.” Edison replied, “No. We have found 700 ways that will not work. Do not call these 700 experiments mistakes; call them our education. Now let’s keep going until we find the answer.” Are you afraid of failure? Then you’ll never succeed. You’ll never stub your toe standing still. Remember the turtle, he never gets anywhere until he sticks his neck out. You can’t succeed if you’re not willing to risk failure. Have you failed? Get up. ...
